ON CAMPUS
FOR THE UC, SANTA CRUZ COMMUNITY
COMPUTER CLASSES
FOR FACULTY AND STAFF
The Computer Center will offer the following
computer classes for all faculty and staff
during December (these classes are in addition to the regularly scheduled non-credit
classes):
Introduction to Text Editing
December 17 (Monday), first class meeting
9 a.m.
December 19 (Wednesday), second class meeting 9 a.m.
This class will demonstrate how to use the
computer to edit text in writing manuscripts.
Present users of this system find they can
do five times as many revisions in the same
time it would take to do one with a typewriter. Computer terminals will be reserved
for those taking this class and individual
assistance will be provided. No previous
computer experience is assumed for this
class.
Statistical Package for the Social Sciences
December 18 (Tuesday) at 1:30 p.m.
Use of the SPSS will be discussed in this
class. The SPSS is a powerful statistical
package presently used throughout the
world for processing statistical data.
Participants in this class are encouraged
to bring their own data to process. Sample
data to process will also be provided.
There will be free computer time for this
class, and no previous computer experience
is assumed.
Keypunch Class and Tour
December 18 (Tuesday) at 8:30 a.m.
This is a class given by the Computer Center
on how to use a keypunch. The keypunch is
used for typing information on data processing cards. A tour of the Center will also
be included. This class is recommended for
anyone who just wants to become familiar
with the Computer Center.
All classes meet in the Computer Center in
Communications 34A. No sign-up is necessary.
SAN NICOLAS ISLAND
MARINE STUDY FUNDED
United States Fish and Wildlife Lab has
awarded the Center for Coastal Marine
Studies $100,000 for a 1979-80 marine
biology study of San Nicolas Island,
located off the coast near Santa Barbara.
This study will be a cooperative project
between the Lab and the Center. Currently
there are two visiting researchers from the
federal agency at UCSC, Dr. Emmet Hooper
and Dr. James Estes. Those two men together
with the Center's Dr. John Pearse will head
the project.
WOMEN AND MINORITIES GAIN
MORE FACULTY POSITIONS
Women and minorities constituted approximately 29.2 percent of the UCSC ladder rank
faculty as of Fall 1979.
This represents a combined net increase of
4.3 since 1975. Women gained five ladder
positions and the minority population grew
by ten new ladder faculty.
A faculty member is ladder rank if he or
she is eligible to be part of the academic
senate. Assistant, associate and full professors meet that criterion.
Affirmative Action Officer Rosamaria Gomez
attributed the increases to the efforts of
the academic administration and recruitment
activity funding made available by Affirmative Action via the academic vice chancellor.
